2015 SEC Football Betting Preview

The Alabama Crimson Tide are 26-3 SU and 16-12-1 ATS over their last 29 games against SEC opponents. The Crimson Tide have won the SEC Championship three times in the last six seasons and twice in the last three seasons.

Alabama is a +250 favorite to win the SEC again on the odds at BetOnline. The Crimson Tide have been incredibly consistent over the last seven seasons under Nick Saban with an 84-11 SU record and three national championships. As is the case every year, Alabama has holes to fill on both sides of the ball, and has plenty of blue chip recruits ready to fill them.

Auburn's defense was the team's biggest weakness in 2014, and the team addressed that issue with the hiring of defensive mastermind Will Muschamp at defensive coordinator. Paired with offensive guru Gus Malzahn, this coaching duo should have Auburn right in the thick of the race for the SEC title at +350 at BetOnline.

With the SEC West simply loaded from top to bottom with excellent teams, it stands to reason that coming out as the top team in the SEC East will be a much easier task. At the top of the SEC East in the early projection of the conference are the Georgia Bulldogs, who are going off at +550 at BetOnline to win the SEC. Georgia will be breaking in a new quarterback, but with a very solid defense and an elite running game led by Nick Chubb, the Bulldogs look to be the team to beat in the SEC East.

No defense in the conference was better last year than Mississippi's, which allowed the fewest points in the nation with just 16 PPG. The unit took some losses in the secondary, but with one of the best defensive lines in the country returning mostly intact points will be hard to come by against Ole Miss. The Rebels are going off at +800 to win the SEC.
